    Kvaser AB, Mölndal, Sweden — www.kvaser.com

  • Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 User’s Guide 7 (25)

    2.3.1 Triggers

    Triggers are useful if you want the Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 to start loggingwhen something special happens. An example of a trigger is a specific incomingCAN message.

    The triggers are combined using logical operators into expressions. More than onetrigger may be used in an expression.

    An action is then associated with the expression, where the action describes whatshould happen when the expression is true, e.g. start logging.

    Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 supports two expressions and may associate onesingle action to each expression.

    2.4 Configuration software in the PC

    To be able to configure Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2, you need to install KvaserMemorator Config Tool which can be downloaded at www.kvaser.com/download.The Kvaser Memorator Config Tool will assist in:

    • Configuration of the CAN controller (e.g. bit rate and filters).

    • Configuration of the trigger conditions (including up to 32 bit signals fromdatabases).

    • Configuration of message filters.

    • Downloading configuration via USB or SD card reader.

    • Extracting logged messages via USB or SD card.

    • Converting files logged in Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 to several differentformats.

    For a detailed description, and how to get started, see the on-line help availableinside Kvaser Memorator Config Tool.

    3 Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 hardware

    In this section you can read more about the CAN channels, power supply and LEDindicators.

    3.1 Hardware installation

    For the Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 to communicate with the host computer, acompatible version of the Kvaser driver and firmware must be installed.

    After the driver has been installed on the host computer, the firmware may then bedownloaded and installed on the Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2.

    The latest version of the driver and firmware can be downloaded fromwww.kvaser.com/download.

    The driver is installed by running the file kvaser_drivers_setup.exe.

    The Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 may be inserted in any free USB socket on thehost computer. You do not need to switch the power off before inserting orremoving the device.

    For information on how to upgrade the firmware, see Section 4.8, Updating thefirmware, on Page 20.

    3.2 USB connector

    The Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 has a standard USB type “Micro-B” femaleconnector.

    Figure 2: Micro USB cable connected to the Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2.

    Connect the device to your computer using any high quality USB 2.0 certifiedcable. The maximum USB cable length is 5 m (∼ 16 ft). If you need a longer cable,you can use USB hubs or USB extension cables with a built-in hub. By chaining upto 5 hubs, you can achieve an effective cable length of up to 25 m (∼ 82 ft).

    Kvaser AB, Mölndal, Sweden — www.kvaser.com

    http://www.kvaser.com/download/

  • Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 User’s Guide 9 (25)

    As USB cables become longer they are more sensitive to EMI,because they make a longer antenna that can pick up morenoise. These issues can be mitigated by using higher qualitycables with better shielding. Thicker cables tend to be better thanthin ones, and braided shielding tends to be more reliable thanonly foil. Furthermore, longer cables may introduce signaldegradation and timing issues that, if necessary, can be mitigatedusing shorter cable segments combined with hubs that amplifythe signal and handle delays on a per-cable basis.

    3.3 CAN channels

    The Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 has two CAN Hi-Speed channels with separate9-pin D-SUB CAN connectors (see Figure 3). See Section 4.3, CAN connectors,on Page 16 for pinout information.

    Figure 3: CAN connector on Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2

    3.4 Power supply

    The Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 can be powered through the CAN 1 connector orthrough the USB connector.

    To operate the Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 in logger mode, you must supplypower through the CAN 1 connector. To use the device as a USB CAN interface orto configure the device, power on the USB side is sufficient.

    The Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 contains a battery that needs to be fully chargedbefore using the device for the first time. Connect the Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2to either a powered USB port or supply power through the CAN connector and letthe battery charge overnight.

    The battery inside the Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 is used for powering the realtime clock and ensuring a safe shutdown of the device when disconnected. When

    Kvaser AB, Mölndal, Sweden — www.kvaser.com

  • Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 User’s Guide 10 (25)

    in logger mode, the Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 can also use the battery to extendthe logging time by a number of seconds (accessible from the Power Settings inKvaser Memorator Config Tool).

    To maintain a healthy battery you need to:

    • Always connect the Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 to a properly powered USBhub, using the supplied cable, when connected to a computer.

    • When using the feature to extend time to live after CAN power isdisconnected, always make sure to recharge the device between each use.To fully recharge the device, connect to power for up to 20x “live time” (e.g.15s battery use might require up to 5 min of recharging).

    • If the Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 is not used regularly, ensure the device isrecharged at least twice a year overnight at room temperature.

    All charging times are given at temperatures between −10 ◦C to+40 ◦C. In warmer and colder temperatures the charging time willincrease.

    See Section 4.3, CAN connectors, on Page 16 for information on how to connectpower to the connector. The supply power should be in the range specified inSection 4.2, Technical data, on Page 16.

    3.5 SD Card

    You can use SD, and SDHC cards with your Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 forlogging. The Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 is built with industrial environments inmind, but please note that the SD card used can be a limiting factor. By using aquality card that matches the specifications of the Kvaser unit, you minimize therisk for data corruption or lost data.

    Insert the SD card upside down into your Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 (see Figure 4on Page 11). Do not apply excessive force.

    To remove the SD card, open the access door and using a finger or a small coin,gently press on the edge of the SD card until a click is heard. Release the card andit will partially eject. Remove the SD card completely.

    The setting of the write protection switch on SD cards isdisregarded by design. The Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 will writeto the disk even if the write protection switch is set.

    4 Appendices

    In this section you will find technical information about the Kvaser Memorator 2xHSv2 and its connectors.

    4.1 Definitions of LED states and colors

    A Kvaser device has two basic types of LEDs; Power and Traffic. These are dualcolored as shown in Table 2. A device with multiple CAN channels has one TrafficLED for each CAN channel. When the device has more than one channel a spaceand digit is added on the label, CAN 1, CAN 2 etc. The red Traffic LEDs are alsoused to indicate errors by using all red Traffic LEDs simultaneously.

    LED Label Color

    Power PWR Green/Yellow

    Traffic CAN Yellow/Red

    Table 2: The different type of LEDs.

    The following definitions is used to describe the state of an LED:

    Off The LED is off and no light is emitted.

    Flash The LED is lit up for a very short time. A single flash may be hard to seeand a continuous set of flashes will look the same as On.

    Slow Blink The LED is repeatedly turned On and Off. The On and Off phase isequal in time.

    Fast Blink The LED is repeatedly turned On and Off but with a higher frequencythan Slow Blink. The On and Off time is still equal.

    On The LED is constantly emitting light.

    Slow Waver This is a variant of Slow Blink but instead of being Off, a second coloris On. This is only possible with a dual colored LED.

    Fast Waver The LED is alternating between two colors as in Slow Waver butusing a higher frequency.

    Running This means that all LEDs are lit, one at the time, in sequence with everycolor available i.e. “Power green->Power yellow->Traffic 1 yellow->Traffic 1red->Traffic 2 yellow->Traffic 2 red->. . . ”

    As an example, "Slow Waver (Green/Yellow)" means that the LED is slowly blinkingby alternating between green and yellow.

    4.1.1 Interface mode

    The device is in Interface mode when connected to the PC via USB. If the PowerLED is showing a steady green light, the device is in Interface mode and workingcorrectly. When connected to the computer for the first time, the Power LED willblink slowly in yellow until the driver is installed and the device has received a USBconfiguration.

    When in Interface mode, if the Power LED is yellow for an extended period,something is wrong. Please see Table 3.

    When the device is connected to Kvaser Memorator Configuration Tool (inInterface mode), the LED will be showing any of the states shown in Table 5.

    The power should never be removed during disk activity or whenfirmware update is in progress.

    Table 9: Configuration of the 9-pin D-SUB

    4.4 CAN bus termination

    Every CAN bus must be terminated with a 120 Ohm resistor at each end of thebus. The Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 does not contain any CAN bus termination,because their inclusion could cause severe disturbance in a system which isalready correctly terminated.

    For laboratory or testing use, the exact value of the termination resistors is notalways critical. Sometimes a single terminator is sufficient. For production, propertermination is essential. If you see error frames on the bus, you should check thetermination.

    To save yourself a lot of trouble, always terminate the CANbus properly.

    4.5 External trigger input

    The Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 can be set up to trigger on an external signal andcan be configured to react on both falling and rising edges.

    • If it is set to trigger on a falling edge, the trigger is activated when theExternal trigger is connected to ground.

    • If it is set to trigger on a rising edge, the trigger is activated when the Externaltrigger is disconnected from ground.

    There are two ways to create such an external signal, either connect a switch fromthe External trigger input on CAN channel 1 to ground or connect a signal between0 and 5 V to the External trigger input. See Section 4.3, CAN connectors, onPage 16 for pin numbering.

    The trigger input is debounced by the firmware so that a pulse of shorter lengththan approximately 30 ms will not be detected.

    Internally, the External trigger input has a pull-up to +5 V, see Figure 8 on Page 18

    4.6 External trigger output

    The Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 can be set up to send an external pulse throughthe External trigger output pin. See Section 4.3, CAN connectors, on Page 16 forpin numbering.

    Figure 9: Sample circuit for connecting a LED to the External trigger output.

    Figure 10: The External trigger output inside the Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2.

    4.7 Daisy Chain Several Devices

    You can daisy chain several Kvaser Memorator 2xHS v2 to gain additional loggingcapacity. To do this, connect the trigger output of one device to the trigger input ofthe next device. Using the Kvaser Memorator Config Tool, configure the triggeroutput of the first device to emit a pulse when the disk becomes full. Configure thetrigger input of the second device to start logging when a falling edge is detected.Set the post-trigger time to 0 (infinite) and the pre-trigger time to 1 s. You now havea setup where the second unit starts logging when the first one becomes full.
